SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,223, dated May 3, 1887.

Application filed January 3, 1887. Serial No. 223,245. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern:

Beit known that I, HAMPTON G. MODANIEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Saba, in the county of San Saba and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables; and Ido declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others' skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the lettcrs and gures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to folding seats for tables, desks, die., which can be folded up and be out of the way, thus economizing room, and at the same time facilitating the cleaning of the door, as the seat is held at a distance therefrom.

a simple and efficient means for connecting the seat to the table, &c., whereby the seat can be readily folded, and at the same time be adjusted nearer to or farther from its support.

The improvement consists in the novel features of construction, hereinafter more fully set forth, claimed, and shown in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is an end view of a table and seat embodying my improvements, the seat being unfolded and shown in an adjusted position by dott-ed lines. Fig. 2 is a similar view, parts broken away, showing the seat folded. Fig. 3is a side view, having a portion broken away, of the table and seat. Fig. 4 is a perspective detail view of one end of the seat, one leg of the table, and the connectingbar, and Fig. 5 is a detail view.

For the sake of illustrating the application `ence to Fig. 1.

The object of the improvement is to devise of my improvement, the table A and the seat B have been shown in the drawings. The seat B, having slots or grooves b in each end, is connected with the legs C of the table by the bars D, each having one end fitted in the slot b and the other end pivotally connected with the leg near its lower end. The connectingbar D has its ends bentin opposite directions, forming arms d and d. The arm d fits into an opening in the leg of the table and the arm d fits into the groove or slot b in the end of the seat. nected with the seat, by fitting in the groove or slot, said seat can be adjusted nearer to or farther from the table, as manifest on refer- In case aportion of the seat is of a length equal to the distance between the legs, the inner outer corners of the legs are out away to receive the rods when the seat is folded, in which position the legs of the seat project under the table, as shown, and the seat is sup ported clear of the floor.

e Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The combination, with the table and the table'-legs having the inner outer corners cut away, as shown, and for the purpose described, of the seat having grooves or slots in its ends, and the connecting-bars having one end pivotally attached to said legs and having the opposite ends fitted in said grooves or slots, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HAMPTON C. MCDANIEL.
